'Look at how much of his ear I've got' - two jailed for city centre bite assault
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: In relation to Whelan, Judge Munro set a headline sentence of four years. He noted a period of imprisonment will be devastating for Whelan given his personal family circumstances, but he found that avoiding a custodial sentence would be "an affront" to the injured parties.
